I don't even know if Rie's character is a tsundere, and don't care!

C'mon lets be honest here, out of all the shows I know she's been in I could count 3 where she isn't tsundere, the odds are stacked against her by far.

Edit: Well there you go lol.

Sailor Moon 92

Wow, what an amazing episode, complete with monsters transforming into cars and Dezaki's patented postcard memories! As a bonus we also get really high production values. In short, it was far to fabulous.
Sailor Moon S is only just beginning. Enjoy the ride!

Oh god, I completely forgot that she's Iori.

Idoru show of the forever confirmed.
Are posts like these what the future looks like? If so, I only see a hollow darkness waiting to swallow this thread whole.

It's strange because when starting Gintama I thought "Oh, so this is what Sket Dance would be like if it had a good script, decent direction and was actually funny".

You mean Sket Dance?

Honestly, I was a little skeptical of the series at first but ever since Roman's introduction in episode 4 I've been completely sold on it. Especially since episode 6 (disregarding the weaker episode 10), it's been gold on both the comedy and drama fronts. The season-closing arc was very well done.

Prepare yourself for the IDOLM@STER revolution. I know I'm ready~
 
You guys all suck. I guess I'll be the only member of Team Haruka. BAKA-RIBBON IS BEST RIBBON!

It just occurred to me that this show had a staff consisting of people who are virtual unknowns in the industry. The director of the show, Masami Shimoda, has almost no other directing credits to his name. I wonder what he is doing now.

No such thing as a team of one, bro. Although it didn't stop Team Denpa last season.
I can row this boat by myself if need be. Ill pass you a few lifesavers on my way by after yours does a Titanic.
 
Sailor Moon 94

The magic of the first kissu a.k.a Sailor Moon gets mad at Sailor Neptune/Uranus. Now featuring more amazing designs, such as the hoover women. This season has already had some amazing design work for these one-off enemies.
 
Well, it's been almost 24 hours and I've had time to recover from School Days, so I guess NOW its EVA time.
Tomorrow morning I'll go pick up some other random shows and watch that.
Have any of you watched Desert Punk? That was the funniest shit ever.

Those who claim neutrality can never be trusted. And they will always be the first to fall, because everyone around them who distrusts them will want to eliminate them first, to prevent having a knife in their backs later!

Zegapain 19:

There are very few series which quite literally get better every single episode. This is true in the television media of all nations on this Earth. And yet, after a shockingly crappy first two episodes, this show has literally been growing in the mass of awesome per square inch every episode! It's fortunate that it ended after 26 episodes, otherwise it might have gained a level of awesome so massive that it would have collapsed into a supermassive black hole, annihilating the Earth itself!

Yes.

God damnit, you guys. Stop making this difficult.

I was staunchly waving the Denpa banner along with Jman thank you very much!
 
Huh, I just realized that in the Kamisama Dolls OP there are a few blank silhouettes that are in the right place to be filled in by characters we haven't been introduced to yet. Not often you see a 13-episode show do the whole evolving credits thing.

Unless it's SHAFT, in which case they do it every time for some unfathomable reason.
 
Dantalian is going to be great, everyone. Trust me. It will dispel the 'staff myth' once and for all.

The reason is they don't have time to finish animating it!

Shockingly enough, the Denpa OP went unchanged for the entire run of the show.

I'm just as surprised as you are.
 
I would not accept changing Denpa's OP. It is absolutely perfect.

By the way, for those of you enjoying Irresponsible Captain Tylor, check out You're Under Arrest. That is good for many more hours of 90s anime bliss.

Well that was kind of the case for Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei season one, but not the other seasons. In other cases, they make small alterations, such as Maria Holic or change the whole thing like Bakemonogatori.
 
Welp, burned through the rest of Irresistible Captain Tylor (note my reviews are always a day behind when I watch them but yeah...still obsessed, haha). Will post impressions tomorrow throughout the day. Awesome series.
 
Random thought about Zegapain: The PVs for the next episode always blatantly spoil what happens in the next episode. This is one show, if it is your first time going through it, where you shouldn't watch the PVs after the ED/credits. It's one show where you'll watch the ED every single time an episode ends, because it's just so heart-wrenchingly beautiful and fits the series so incredibly perfectly, however.

Dynedom: the second line of your post. Delete it.
